Hello,
I'm a newbie to Windows Mobile, so the usual disclaimer about the stupidity
of the question:
I want to have an application that only gets woken up by some external
event. That event shuld be an incoming communication event (SMS/UDP message
or something of the sort). How do I go about doing this?
Thanks,
Zohar.

I just used google (http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search) to
look up
wake
in this newsgroup and got 113 hits. I took a quick look and think
several are relevant, although I'm not sure about the SMS/UDP part.
When I looked for
wake sms
I got three threads, but each had only one post.

SMS come over cellular lines, search for the term "mapirule"
UDP come over data lines, if you want to write a UDP client that will
accept packets search for "udp client" on MSDN and possibly include
"CE" if you want a native solution or cut it down to "UDPClient" for
the .NET managed class (complete with examples).

BTW, if you want to "wake" an application I wouldn't search for wake,
which is used more often in the context of power management. If you
want to have an app listen or act as a receiver for some data look for
those terms.
